Oh Jan - How awful. I think I would of punched the doctor (and secretary) if it was me!! How dare they say what they said - I think its absolutely disgusting! Anyway, I hope Julian is ok and feeling much better now - what a scare. Oh and yeah, we've tried settling Luke at night when he wakes and it works every now and again but only for an hour or so, then he wakes again until I feed him!! Last night, we tried EVERYTHING!! Even DH got up (because that's how histerical Luke was) - I think he thought I was doing something terrible to him!! We dont usually even have to pick him up but this time managed to get him to sleep in our arms three times but every time we put him down, he'd scream. That is until I got the bottle out!! He just seemed to be really hungry!! Anyway, I guess I can't expect the extra feed thing to work overnight, so I'll keep it up for the week and see what happens.

I hate to say this because every time I get my hopes up, things go terribly wrong but we've had a FANTASTIC day today!! Luke's morning sleep lasted for two hours (unheard of), then he had a half hour nap at lunch time in the pram while we were going for a lovely walk along the river (it was the most beautiful day in Perth today). Then he had another hour and a half from 3.45pm to 5.15pm. Incredible. So I fed him the 'extra' feed at 5.15pm when he woke up, then we had some great play time, then his bath and some more quite play while I had my dinner. He started grizzling at 7.30pm, so I made up another bottle, praying that he'd take it and he did - almost took the whole lot (I think he only left about 30ml). After the bottle, we sat quietly for a while and when I put him down in his cot at 8pm, he went to sleep straight away and didn't even make a sound (again unheard of - he usually gives a few cries and I have to go in at least once to put the dummy back in, but this time, NOTHING, he just put himself to sleep). I even went back in to make sure he was ok. Soooooo... as much as I don't want to say it, I'm hoping we're going to have a good night tonight. Only problem is that DH is studying tonight and won't be home until about 10pm, I'm sooo worried that he'll wake Luke when he gets home. Our front door is very noisy and Luke's room is close by it. Oh well, nothing I can do about that.

Wish me luck and I hope all our bubs are kind to us tonight - bring on some sleep!!
